Donley Auctions Terms and Conditions of Sale
Introduction:
These Terms and Conditions of Sale govern all auctions conducted by Donley Auction Services, including those conducted online, via absentee bid, by phone, and in person. Donley Auction Services acts as an agent for consignors. Any announcements made by the auctioneer on the day of the auction take precedence over any printed or online information.
Bidding and Purchase:
By bidding on any item, you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale. Donley Auctions uses multiple bidding platforms, and bidders should be aware that absentee bids may compete across platforms. To ensure fairness and transparency, bidders should be aware of the following:
• Absentee bids placed on one platform may compete with the highest bidder on other platforms.
• Due to this, a bidder may not be the highest bidder, as the platforms are not connected in real-time.
• In cases where identical bids are received at the same time, the Auctioneer will accept the first bid called out by our clerks.
• Donley Auctions cannot guarantee the order in which bids are received electronically.
To avoid potential disappointment, bidders are encouraged to watch the auction live and increase their bids as needed.
The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid, withdraw any lot, or resolve disputes at their discretion. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. Payment must be made according to the platform's specified terms. In-person bidders must register for a bidder number with valid identification before participating in the auction.
Buyer's Premium:
• 18% with CASH Payment for in-person, absentee, or phone bids
• + 3.5% with Visa, Master Card, Discover, or American Express
• + 5% online fee for internet auction platforms (SAVE 2% on https://bid.DonleyAuctions.com)
• + 7.25% Illinois Sales Tax for IL residents and those paying in person
Sorry, NO Personal Checks unless pre-approved by Randy Donley

Item Descriptions and Condition:
All lots are sold "AS IS," and all sales are final. There are absolutely no refunds, exchanges, or returns on ANY items. In-person bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect items thoroughly before bidding. Donley Auctions may provide descriptions but makes no warranties or representations regarding condition, etc. Bidders are responsible for inspecting items and determining their value and condition. It is the bidder's responsibility to determine condition, age, genuineness, value, or any other factor.
Bidders who bid off-site and are not present at the live auction or preview understand and acknowledge that they may not be able to inspect an item as well as if they examined it in person. It is the Bidder's responsibility to determine condition, age, genuineness, value, or any other factor by way of their own knowledge, pictures, description, and emailing Donley Auctions with questions at Info@DonleyAuctions.com. To allow time for a thorough response, please submit any questions at least 24 hours before the start of the auction. We will be happy to describe each item in detail and any pertinent information regarding the item before the auction.
Donley Auction Services will not be responsible for any errors or omissions in the description of the merchandise unless it is a material and intentional misrepresentation of the item itself. Bidder agrees that everything is sold as is and that they may not return any item they purchase. Under no circumstances shall Bidder have any kind of claim against Donley Auctions or anyone else if the Internet service fails to work correctly before or during the live or timed auction. Donley Auctions will not be responsible for any missed bids from any source.
Donley Auctions reserves the right to withdraw or re-catalog items in this auction.
